Wales 2-0 Andorra: Ramsey & Bale strike to give Dragons victory

Wales 2-0 Andorra: Ramsey & Bale strike to give Dragons victory

The Arsenal and Real Madrid men were both on target as the nation celebrated the place secured for France 2016 in the previous match against Bosnia-Herzegovina

Second-half goals from Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale ensured Wales ended their triumphant Euro 2016 qualifying run with a 2-0 Group B victory over Andorra.

Wales' progress to a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup was confirmed on Saturday, despite a 2-0 loss to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

A capacity crowd gathered in Cardiff, hoping for a return more befitting of their heroes' achievement, but Chris Coleman's team were frustrated by Andorra during a goalless first half.

Bale schemed relentlessly in his attempts to unpick the minnows' dogged defence, while goalkeeper Ferran Pol impressed.

Ramsey pounced to get the party started in the 50th minute and Bale fittingly snared his seventh goal of a talismanic qualifying campaign four minutes from time.

Belgium ensured they finished top of the group with a 3-1 victory over Israel - a statistic that mattered little in the Welsh capital as the celebratory strains of 'Bread of Heaven' boomed around the stands before full-time. 

The feel-good atmosphere inside the Cardiff City Stadium was punctured in the fifth minute when a sickening clash of heads between James Chester and Victor Moreira left the Andorra midfielder prone on the turf.

Moreira left the field on a stretcher following a lengthy period of treatment, after which the visitors had to repel a predictable threat.

Bale collected Sam Vokes' lay-off to thrash a shot across goal from the left-hand corner of the box – Pol responding with a fine save.

The Real Madrid star was then cynically scythed down by Ildefonso Lima, the defender booked for his troubles, before sending an 18th-minute free-kick narrowly wide.

David Edwards replaced ankle-injury victim Hal Robson-Kanu as the half reached its midway point and the Wolves midfielder had a close-range header cleared off the line by Lima shortly after his introduction.

Pol was at full stretch to tip over and spare Max Llovera the embarrassment of heading into his own net and the keeper tipped a flicked Ramsey header onto the crossbar as Andorra approached the break under relentless pressure.

Tom Lawrence came on for his Wales debut at the interval in place of Edwards, but Bale was the architect when the opening goal arrived.

Having been struck by a botched Andorran clearance, Bale flighted a cross from the right for Ashley Williams to draw another stop from Pol before Ramsey slammed home the rebound from close range.

The Arsenal midfielder almost added a more accomplished second as the hour approached, slaloming through a clutch of Andorra challenges before dragging his eventual shot wide.

Pol's yellow card for timewasting at 1-0 down demonstrated the limited scope of his team's ambition, while the direct dribbling of Ramsey and Bale caused increasing trouble for weary opponents.

Having tirelessly led the line, Vokes sent his latest headed attempt off target in the 72nd minute and the Burnley striker fluffed his lines when Pol spilt a Williams effort.

Vokes' personal frustrations continued, but Bale extinguished his by swivelling to slam a low shot beyond Pol and lap up a hero's acclaim.

    That's all from me, congratulations to Wales on a superb qualifying campaign. Hope you've enjoyed tonight's coverage. Until next time - Goodbye!

    Yellow CardAaron Sanchez
  • 90' + 2'
     
    FULL TIME! It's all over Wales 2-0 Andorra! Goals from Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale ensure the hosts finish with a win. Let the celebrations begin!
  • 90'
     
    Into TWO minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game...
  • 89'
     
    That's Bale's seventh goal of qualifying by the way, and he has three assists. Not bad going at all!
  • 87'
     
    Well it's not the greatest goal he's ever scored but he won't care. The ball comes in from the left, and Bale turns and shoots, the ball just slipping past Ferran Pol.
  • 86'
     
    AssistAaron Ramsey
  • 86'
     
    GoalGareth Bale
    GOAL! Finally Wales get their second of the night and it's that man Gareth Bale!
  • 86'
     
    SubstitutionJonathan Williams Simon Church
  • 85'
     
    It's Ramsey again! Another ball into the box and again the Arsenal man is the furthest forward but can't get an effort on target.
  • 83'
     
    Ramsey looking for his second of the night. Gunter again gets forward well and crosses but the Arsenal man, flying in at the near post, can't quite get his head on it.
  • 82'
     
    Yellow CardJosé Manuel Ayala
  • 81'
     
    SubstitutionIvan Lorenzo Marc García Renom
  • 81'
     
    Into the last 10 minutes and Wales still searching for a second goal. Andorra still picking up bookings with substitute Ayala the latest man to annoy the referee.
  • 79'
     
    CHANCE FOR WILLIAMS! The Swansea defender really should make it 2-0. He makes a great run to get on the end of a free kick that is lofted in but cannot beat Ferran Pol and Vokes can only prod it straight back at the goalkeeper.
  • 78'
     
    Yellow CardAdri Rodrígues
  • 78'
     
    Rodrigues is the latest player to be booked, the seventh Andorran in the referee's notebook.
  • 76'
     
    Another free kick for Wales....another chance for Bale...another shot straight into the crowd. Just looked a little rusty tonight has the Real Madrid man.
  • 74'
     
    A SHOT ON GOAL FOR ANDORRA! It's taken 74 minutes but Riera has a pop at goal. It's nowhere near Hennessey and the crowd show their delight with a huge roar.
  • 72'
     
    Into the last 20 minutes in Cardiff and Wales still pressing. Gunter fires in a cross for Vokes but again his effort is over the bar.
  • 70'
     
    SubstitutionÓscar Sonejee José Manuel Ayala
  • 70'
     
    Another change for Andorra off goes captain Oscar Sonejee, an emotional moment as this is his final appearance for his country. On come Ayala.
  • 68'
     
    Ramsey tees up Gunter who has come racing forward but his cut-back fools everyone. The hosts keep the ball however and come again down the left but this time Andorra do well to clear the danger.
  • 66'
     
    Ramsey bursting with confidence, after that goal, is at the heart of everything at the moment as Wales continue to control the game. Chris Coleman, on the touchline, looking far more relaxed now.
  • 65'
     
    Yellow CardFerran Pol
  • 64'
     
    Andorra goalkeeper Ferran Pol is the latest to go into the book as the referee tires of the visitors' time-wasting.
  • 62'
     
    Wales are starting to enjoy themselves here as the Andorrans visibly tire. The crowd are getting involved too cheering every pass. A second goal is not too far away you suspect.
  • 60'
     
    SO CLOSE TO A SECOND FOR RAMSEY! The Arsenal man does superbly picking up possession and beating two challenges before firing agonisingly wide of the post.
  • 57'
     
    Yellow CardChris Gunter
  • 57'
     
    Yellow CardAshley Williams
  • 57'
     
    Yellow CardMarcio Vieira
  • 57'
     
    A few tempers getting frayed now after a poor challenge by Vieira on Ramsey. The Andorra midfielder is booked and play will continue as the players try to calm things on the pitch.
  • 55'
     
    That goal has certainly let the crowd raise the volume a notch. Wales continue to boss possession on the pitch, Bale letting fly with a shot that bobbles harmlessly wide.
  • 53'
     
    Wales fancy this now. Another attack ends with Bale's shot clipping off the cross bar, the whistle had gone but the hosts are in the mood now.
  • 52'
     
    It's been coming and it's a simple enough goal. Bale crosses for Ashley Williams whose header is parried by Ferran Pol leaving Ramsey the simple task of knocking home from close range.
  • 50'
     
    GoalAaron Ramsey
    GOAL! Ramsey gives Wales the lead and it's party time in Cardiff!!
  • 49'
     
    Yellow CardIvan Lorenzo
  • 49'
     
    Nice play by the new man Lawrence, he feeds Davies who is fouled by Lorenzo and Wales have a free kick on the edge of the box.
  • 48'
     
    Ramsey picks up possession in his own half and races forward, Wales have six men in this attack. He picks out Williams but his cross is deflected for a corner.
  • 46'
     
    SubstitutionDavid Edwards Tom Lawrence
  • 46'
     
    One change at the break for Wales as Tom Lawrence comes for his debut as the second half gets underway in Cardiff
  •  
     
    Some good news regarding midfielder Victor Moreira who was stretchered off after a long stoppage due to a nasty head injury. The midfielder reportedly did not need to go to hospital and is awake and talking.
  •  
     
    So frustration for Wales so far. Chris Coleman's side have bossed everything but credit to Andorra they have stood firm. Can they keep it up for 90 minutes though is the big question? The home fans will hope not!
  • 45' + 8'
     
    HALF TIME! Wales 0-0 Andorra. Predictably it's been all Wales but no goals yet for Chris Coleman's side who will be hoping for better after the break. Poor by Ramsey however, he fires the kick straight into the two-man wall.
  • 45' + 7'
     
    Another chance for Wales, Williams gets the ball into the box, Bale just gets his head to it ahead of Vokes but again it's far too tame an effort to trouble Ferran Pol.
  • 45' + 6'
     
    Bale is everywhere at the moment for Wales but still no way through. Chris Coleman is chewing frantically on the touchline, despite the fact his team have already qualified.
  • 45' + 4'
     
    Another corner for Wales with Bale trying to gee up the fans. The Real Madrid man is doing his best to get his country going as Wales win another corner but again they can't make it count.
  • 45' + 2'
     
    SO CLOSE AGAIN! Another chance for Wales goes begging. A corner falls to Davis on the edge of the box, who goes for the top corner and is just inches away from giving the hosts the lead!
  • 45'
     
    Into EIGHT minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half...
  • 44'
     
    Lovely inter-play play between Ramsey and Bale but Andorra are standing firm in defence. Another cross is then fired in and finds Ramsey who flicks it goalwards and Ferran Pol just manages to get it away with the help of the frame of his goal.
  • 43'
     
    Again Bale tries to get Wales going, firing in a cross from the left. The ball eventually falls to Williams but he badly slices his shot and it goes out for a throw.
  • 42'
     
    The crowd are doing their best to urge their team forwards. Bale races down the left but his cross is blocked. Back come Wales with Vaughan but again Vokes can only head over the bar.
  • 40'
     
    Bale leads a Wales charge that sees them pepper the Andorra box with a series of shots and crosses which the visitors do well to block. The threat is growing though, can Chris Coleman's side make the breakthrough before half-time?
  • 38'
     
    GOOD CHANCE VOKES! Wales growing into the game here. Vaughan crosses and finds Vokes who gets a decent head on it but not enough to beat Ferran Pol. Much better from the hosts though.
  • 36'
     
    Danger for Andorra. A free kick just yards from the box. Up steps Gareth Bale and fires it....straight into goalkeeper Ferran Pol's grateful grasp.
  • 34'
     
    WALES WANT A PENALTY! Another shout from Wales, but again it's half-hearted. Edwards goes over Sonejee on the edge of the box but again the referee isn't interested and again, it looks the right decision.
  • 33'
     
    Yellow CardDavid Vaughan
  • 32'
     
    David Vaughan goes into the book after a late challenge on Vieira. The midfielder looks none to impressed with the decision it must be said and he has a point, it looked a clean challenge.
  • 30'
     
    Half an hour gone and Wales still to get this party started with a goal. The game has been disrupted by a couple of stoppages and there will be a substantial amount of injury time at the end of this half.
  • 29'
     
    ALMOST AN OWN GOAL! Goalkeeper Ferran Pol spares his team-mate Lovera's blushes tipped his goalbound header over the bar as Wales were almost gifted the lead!
  • 28'
     
    Bales crosses from the right for Vokes who goes down under pressure from San Nicolas. It's not a penalty and the referee quite rightly waves play on.
  • 27'
     
    Riera intercepts a ball from Ramsey and looks up but there is no one ahead of him. He punts the ball forward in any case, allowing Wales to regain possession and build another attack.
  • 25'
     
    OFF THE LINE! Unlucky for Wales, Ramsey crosses from the right and finds Vokes who heads back across goal to substitute Edwards who looks set to head home from close range but is just denied by Ildefons Lima!
  • 24'
     
    A nice ball into the box from Gunter finds Vokes who managed to just get a head on it but again there's no one to pick it up for Wales and Andorra manage to get the danger away.
  • 23'
     
    SubstitutionHal Robson-Kanu David Edwards
  • 22'
     
    A few instructions to David Edwards and he's on in place of Robson-Kanu, Wales restored to their full complement of players.
  • 21'
     
    Robson-Kanu hobbles off with a grimace, his night is over. Wales temporarily down to 10 men as they prepare a sub.
  • 19'
     
    Bale picks out Davies in the area with a great cross-field ball but no-one can collect his knockdown and the attack fizzles out. Problems for Wales though as Hal Robson-Kanu is struggling with an ankle injury and doesn't look as though he is going to be able to run it off.
  • 17'
     
    Still all Wales at the moment. Ramsey dallies with the ball before giving it to Gunter who has got forward. The full-back cuts inside and tries his luck with a shot but it's too tame and Ferran Pol collects at his near post.
  • 15'
     
    Yellow CardIldefonso Solo Lima
  • 15'
     
    SO CLOSE! Lima is booked for a foul on Bale on the edge of the box. The hosts' star man gets up, takes the kick himself and is inches away from giving the hosts the lead!
  • 14'
     
    BALE! The Real Madrid man stings goalkeeper Ferran Pol's fingertips with a fierce shot and seconds later Williams goes down in the box! Penalty cry the Wales fans but nothing doing!
  • 13'
     
    A nasty challenge by Rubio on Williams earns Wales a free kick. Andorra look as though they have set up to frustrate the hosts who are knocking the ball around comfortably and probing for an opening.
  • 12'
     
    SubstitutionVictor Moreira Gabi Riera
  • 12'
     
    Moreira departs the field on a stretcher to a standing ovation, let's hope he's OK. Riera is on and play resumes with an Andorra free kick that is fired into the Wales area and eventually claimed by Hennessey.
  • 9'
     
    The atmosphere around the stadium has unsurprisingly gone rather flat as Moreira continues to be treated on the pitch. The Wales players are knocking a ball around as they try to stay warm.
  • 7'
     
    Moreira is still receiving treatment on the pitch after that collision with James Chester and will play no further part in this match. Riera is being readied on the touchline and will come on in his place.
  • 5'
     
    A nasty moment for Moreira here, who has gone down and there's real concern about his welfare. The stretcher is out and looks like we might have a prolonged break in play while he receives treatment for a head injury.
  • 4'
     
    A poor corner by Andorra is flicked into touch by Moreira at the near post. The hosts roar forwards from the goal kick and Bale looks set to burst into the area after a great touch but is denied by a superb tackle by San Nicolas.
  • 2'
     
    This game may well be a dead rubber but Robson-Kanu shows he's up for it with a very late challenge. A free kick is hoisted into the Wales area and Andorra have the first corner of the game!
  • 1'
     
    Andorra kick off and we are underway in Cardiff!
  •  
     
    The Wales anthem is predictably belted out by players and fans alike and there's a fair few tears of pride being shed out there. Great scenes in Cardiff.
  •  
     
    Captain Ashley Williams leads the Wales team out to huge applause from around the Cardiff City Stadium as the players line up for the national anthems. Not too long to go now!
  •  
     
    So a win tonight and Wales could even regain top spot, providing Belgium fail to beat Israel and you’d certainly fancy their chances. Perhaps unsurprisingly tonight’s visitors have played nine, lost nine and conceded 34 goals so far in this qualifying campaign.
  •  
     
    ANDORRA SUBS: Riera, Moreno, Peppe, Ayala, Gomez, Garcia.
  •  
     
    ANDORRA XI: Ferran Pol, San Nicolas, Sonejee, Llovera, Ildefons Lima, Rodrigues, Rubio, Vieira, Moreira, Lorenzo, Sanchez
  •  
     
    WALES SUBS: Ward, Williams, Taylor, Richards, Allen, King,  Church, Ledley, Edwards,  Collins, Lawrence, Henley
  •  
     
    WALES XI: Hennessey; Gunter, Chester, A Williams, Davies; Vaughan, J Williams, Ramsey; Bale, Robson-Kanu, Vokes
  •  
     
    Wales boss Chris Coleman makes FOUR changes from the side that lost to Bosnia-Herzegovina last time out but there is room for star man Gareth Bale. Out go Neil Taylor, Jazz Richards, Joe Ledley and Joe Allen and in come James Chester, David Vaughan, Jonny Williams and Sam Vokes.
